Oracle Agent is used for Oracle Enterprise Manager Functionality
called Discover Services. if you have Server Manager Installed on a
Client machine and you wants to see that database server , you have to

Discover services sees all those Database Servers on which oracle
intelligent agent is running. If you stop oracle agent service you
cannot see that database server from enterprise Manager.
